Sponsored Video: Harris Wood Shows How to Install Floors Without Pain

Jun 17, 2015

Installing wood floors is hard on the body, but it doesn’t have to hurt. Harris Wood, with the floor installer in mind, partnered with Valinge and Pro Installer to bring occupational therapist Ann Marie Dale to the 2015 Wood Flooring Expo to show how to reduce wear and tear on the body when installing nail-down, glue-down and click flooring. The Hardwood Floors video team recorded her entire presentation, and learned what materials and tools are better for the installer’s knees, lower back, neck and hands. This isn’t something your body can afford to ignore. Visit Harris Wood for more information.
